Is There an Age Limit for Working in the Field with MSF?

There is no maximum age limit for our field staff. Difficult working conditions do mean that applicants must be in a good state of health.

Living conditions in the field (security, housing, etc) make it difficult for field staff to be accompanied by children or partners who are not participating in the project.

May I Request Placement in a Specific Country?

It is not possible to honour specific country requests. MSF recruits applicants into a pool before matching them to a specific position based on their skills, experience and background.

However, special skills, languages and restrictions are taken into consideration in each placement.

MSF will arrange and cover you for health insurance while on assignment. In the event of medical evacuations, repatriation is also covered.
